Mónica, born Mónica Cruz-Sánchez on March 16, 1977, in the Municipal of Alcobendas, Madrid, Spain, is now aged 46 years. Her zodiac sign is Pisces.

Her parents, Eduardo Cruz Sr., and Encarna Sánchez, are ethnically White people with Spanish nationalities, so Mónica’s ethnicity is White while her nationality is Spanish.
A homely young woman in her prime, she loves cooking, dancing, and drawing, and enjoys tacos as one of her favorite meals.
Family & Father’s Death
Having what seemed like a perfect family and early childhood years, Mónica Cruz and her siblings had to suffer the aftermath of their parents’ divorce. Sadly.
Following her parents’ broken marriage, her mother, Encarna, a local hairdresser, remained single and had the responsibility of training Mónica and her siblings, while her father, Eduardo Sr., an auto mechanic and retailer, remarried.
Married to Carmen Moreno in 2003, Mónica’s father, Eduardo Sr., and his new wife, Carmen, had a child on February 24, 2012, whom they named Salma Cruz.
Sadly, however, her father, in June of 2015 at age 62, died from a heart disease otherwise known as angina pectoris. Sources say his illness was identified and managed twice (2008 & 2012) before his apparent death.

Oh, and she currently does both acting and dancing for a day job. During the heyday of her career, she cleared a couple of modeling gigs.
As a versatile actress, especially one who gets movie roles in both Spanish and English languages, Monica is fluent in the English language as well as in the Spanish language.

As recently as 2022, she played Silvia Jáuregui in UPA Next, a reboot of the Spanish musical drama series dubbed “Un paso adelante.”
Moreover, she and her sister, Penélope Cruz, often did a lot of collaborative work, particularly because they are in the same industry. As fashion models, the duo are beauty and fashion collections such as;
